Well. change the "may" to "is" and you are right. It is a huge change. This is an argument over the "theatre" in which science is done.

Changing "may be the result of a miracle" to "is the result of a miracle" is certainly a big change. It literally results in the end of science. What's the point of that? Theology has a long history. It provides spiritual comfort, a basis for morality, and a social matrix for society. Very nice. No problem. But theology has been around since before Noah, and it hasn't accomplished anything of a scientific nature1. Theology is fine, for what it is. It's absurd to extend it into areas where it has no function.

Footnote 1: Yes, I know, some theologians have done scientific work; but when that happens, they're doing science, not theology.

Why some people insist that an idea or truth is not valid until it's measured scientifically I'll never know...
